This trimester we will focus on the human water cycle: The way people use, transport, and dispose water that powers our homes, hydrates our bodies, irrigates our crops and gardens, and processes our waste.

While learning about the cycle, and how we can help with the quality of water, students will be using math, literacy, social studies, and science skills all along!

We will also try to see the big picture and learn how by helping our local environment we are improving the quality of water on our planet. We will tie it to the Sustainable Development Goals such as Clean Water and Sanitation, and Good Health and Well Being.

Science Class: Amar, Sammy, Ana, and Quentin are analyzing water sample from our creek.

Carrie is researching and sketchnoting the water cycle in the city.
